Paint My Skin with Marks That Last, PG

Written for the_applecart the In The Fleet Challenge with the prompt, 'Pilots getting tattoos, either Kara or Lee or both'.

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” He groused as she pushed him into the chair.

“I didn’t talk you into anything. You lost a bet. These were the terms. Suck it up pretty boy, it’s about time you had something gritty to mar up all

Oooh, I love tattoofic so much, and this is really lovely. Very tender, sassy in parts, and quite wonderful. Perfect phrase you chose. Nicely done!! <3

There is something about tattoo!fic, is there not? ;)

Thanks! Glad the phrase worked. I wasn't sure.

<3 <3 Oh I really enjoyed this, the tension of wondering what it would say. (For a minute I thought it was going to be something like "Private Property" in Latin.) Very sweet and the ending is lovely, but clearly you should write a sequel about what they did do that night, since they didn't return to the Bucket. AHEM. ;)

I did consider pairing his tattoo somehow with hers, but I thought it might be TOO egotistical even for Kara. Lol!

Never know, it could happen. ;)

Thanks for reading!

Yay! \O/

Glad you liked it and thought the characterizations were alright as I always worry that I'm slaughtering them into unrecognizable phantoms of themselves.

Thanks, dear! :D

Gorgeous! I love how nervous she is that he'll like it, cutting right through all her brashness :) Also, tattoos! Another reminder that I need another :)

[word_vomity]

Yeah, it makes me wibbly inside when she gets all vulnerable there for a sec. Aww! :P

How many do you have already? I mentioned wanting one once and my dad made me feel like such a skeezeball that I never went back to it, even though I really liked the idea. :(

Thanks for reading and commenting as always!

Just one - a bird - a memorial for a friend of mine that I got a few years ago. My dad did freak for 30 seconds when I showed him, but once he understood what it was for he just made me promise not to encourage my then-16-year-old sister to get one :)

Fathers! Such drama queens! :D

I was gonna get a quote. Not something douchey. But he still wasn't having it. Mind, I was 25 and moved out by this time so why he still thought he got a say, I've no idea.

I love Kara's take on Gianne, so Kara, while Lee tries to ignore the conversation entirely. But that ending is a whole other level. Just perfect. *happy sigh*

[word_vomity]

Thanks hon! Not sure about the timeline for Gianne working out with the Kara/Zak timing but what the hell, it's my story so I can fudge things. :P

Glad the end was happy inducing. We (and they) deserve it every now and again. :D
